e Mayor's
Besides the numerous parties of ladies
and gentlemen met with in oar recent
jaunt to the mountains beyond Union
town, we found on the summit, in a field
contiguous to Snyder's "Summit House,"
under the sheltering branches of stately
forest trees, an encampment of Messrs.
W. L. Ledwith, T. Duncan, W. H: C.
Parkhill and 'Ell K. - Abrams, all from
Brownsville. They have their tent, with
all needful camp equipage, cots, cooking
utensils, etc!, here. Ins all weathers
they sleep and cook, making daily expe
ditions on foot for exercise, curiosity or
for forage. They bad walked to .
Washington Spring I mile
Dunbar's Camp .3 miles
Braddock's Grave 3 miles
Pine Knob 5 miles
Fort Necessity 5 miles
Fayette Springs 23, miles
Delaneyo,s Cave 6 miles
and expected to strike tent and pitch
again at Ohio Pile Falls, distant nine
miles. We found these young gents all
educated, refined, intelligent and models
of propriety. We commend their mode
of visitilig the mountains to other young
people. it has some rough points, but in
exciting and healthy.
The Work House and County Jail.
In order to have the use of a portion
of the material of the old jail in the con
struction of the new building, the Busi
ness Committee ,of the Prison Board,
which is composed of the Commission
ers, Sheriff and Mayor, have requested
the Work House Committee to make ar
rangements for fifty Prisoners now con
fined in If this request is com
plied with it will be a saving of several
thousand dollars to the county in the
matter of the material referred to, as
well as a saving to the Work House
fund, as they have now a large number
of hands employed at high wages, per
forming work which migtit be done by
the prisoners at a cost of their boarding
only. The Committee having in charge
the erecticuzpr Work House are wil
ling to receive the PritiOnetirlf the ar
rangements for their accommodation
can be made, and for that purpose they
have invited the Business Committee of
the Prison Board to accompany them on
a visit to the Work House to see what
arrangements are necessary. They will
leave' the Allegheny Depot on the West
Pennsylvania Railroad at nine o'clock
this morning.
The Connelsville Railroad.
The two bridges across Dunbar Creek;
damaged by the Sunday storm, were re
paired with the usual proMptitude of the
ConneHaynie Railroad Company—only
the afternoon train on Monday failed.
We came ourselves on Tuesday morning
safely over the repaired bridges; the
main track between Connellsville and
this city was uninjured, and is a well set
tled, well ballasted and .pleasant road for
the traveler. Passengers going to the
mountains will find the route a good one.
We found the conductors all wo could
desire ; careful, courteous to passengers,
vigilant, giving their whole time dili
gently to the proper discharge of every
duty. This testimony we doubt not is
due to all the conductors on every train ;
our perscnal observation, however, was
of Mr. Turner, on the train hence to Con
nellsville, and Mr. Gray, on the train
thence to Uniontown. Tnese gentlemen
we regard as model conductors.
Debate In New Castle.
Quite an interesting debate is now in
progress in New Castle, Lawrence coun
ty, this State, between Rev. D. X. Junk
in, D. D., of that town, and Rev. J. R. W.
Sloan, D. D., of Allegheny, on the relig
ioustamendment of the Constitution of
the United States. The debate com
mented in White Halt on Tuesday even
ing, and was resumed last evening at
half-past seven o'clock.
The matter of amending the Constitn
ion so as to ..recognize the Lord Jesus
Christ as the "Prince of the Kings of the
Earth" has excited' considerable atten
tion, especially for the last few years.
It is not at all likely that the amend-
Meat asked for 'by some religionists
throughout the country will soon be in
serted In the organic law of the nation.
But the well knowzi ability of the con
testants, who are now debating the ques
tion in New Castle, has attracted cousid
erable attention, and the audiences are
quite large and respectable.

which was just rounding the course to
enter the Depot. The result was a
collision, as' mi4ht have been expected.
The engine,vlnch was moving with the
tender in front, was thrown from the
track by the concussion, but continued
its course, ' bearing the wagon around
and carrying it along. The des& had

then forcibly m ved the house about ten
feet away from nits foundations, without,
however, wrecking it. By this time it

age was ascertained. Miraculously as it
seemed, the driver of the wagon had
escaped without injury, while the little
girl, by a fortunate exit from
the roar, had dropped upon the ground,
and escaped with but a few slight bruises.
The horse was perfectly able to trot off
briskly after all was over. The wagon,
however, was no more. Deprived of
four wheels, the shafts, and a part of its
covering, it remained only as a whack of
its former ,appearance. About half an
hour's work with two other engines and
a gang of laborers eerved to replace the
engine upon the track again, and all
time of the accident was removed save
the watchman's house, which will be re
placed in its old position. it is quite
likely Mr. Owens will not attempt to get
ahead of another locomotive.
Charged with Libel.
Frank Welsh made information before
Alderman Taylor, yesterday, against
Robert Graham, John J. McGregor and
H. Bucher, charging them with circula
ting a malicious, defamatory libel of, and
concerning him, thereby subjecting him
to scorn and contempt. In support of the
information, it is alleged that the defen
dants signed and made affidavit before
Alderman Albeltz to a paper setting
forth that they, as an election board au
thorized by the Republican County Com
mittee, on the Slat of May, 1869, had as
sembled at the usual place of holding
elections in the Tenth Ward, city of
Pittsburgh, for the purpose of conduct
ing elections for delegates to the
Republican County Conventions to
be held . in June, 1869, but that
they were prevented from discharging
their duties by Frank Welsh and others,
who, in an intoxicated condition, entered
the room in which they had assembled,
and by threats and violence drove them
out of the same.
The deponent further alleges this paper
was presented before the. Committee on
Credential& at one of the conventions,
and that by it the_ question of the rights
of certain persons to seats as delegates
to that body were decided. -
lir. Welsh denies the allegations con
tained in thepaper, hence the informa
tion. The accuse d were arrested and
after a bearing gave bail for their appear
ance at Court.

Hard at Work.
The Snyder family, a numerous com
pany, hereabouts, are just now engaged
in litigation on an - extensive scale. Eve
ry branch of the family, male and female
seems to be represented. The immedi
ate cause of this outburst was a suit
brought before Alderman Koenig a few
days ago, against a Snyder for selling ice
to Mr. Herbst, of the Ordinary . ' . on Sun
day. This developed a latent aptitude
and desire for litigation which now in
Process of vigorous developnient tinder

has at present seven cases awaiting
his magisterial decision, wherein
the principal members of the Snyder
family appear as prosecutors and de.
fendants, in the most bewildering man
ner, totally beyond the comprehension of
ordinary mortals. The Alderman at
last,succeeded in extricating ogle of the
cases from the confusion yesterday and
achieved a hearing of it, but 'seterved
his decision until his mind *covered

upon this mental feat. The others will

tlemple'y Noe. 180 and 182 Federal
Street,; sitegheny.
No name is more intimately associated
with the dry goods trade, and none more
suggestiye of reasonable prices and choice
selections than that of - Mr. William Sem
ple, Nos. 180 and 182 Federal street, Al
legheny city. The judicious system in
which he manages hie buidnes., always
being up to the outside requiremente of
his customers with new goods, and
taking care that his patrons receive the
full worth of their money in every article
purchased, has secured for him a popu
bxity with shoppers which enables him to
transact, even in the dullest times, a large
share of trade. It has long been an object
of remark that in all:the seasons, every
month and week of the year, 'this house
presents the bustle peculiar to good
times, and both , its , who/04E11Q and retail
departments are thronged with purchas
ers. The simple secret is that the public
know how to protect themselves and
will direct their /favors where they can
be best favored themselves. The popu
larity of the Irouse has been pretty well
earned through,Jong years of wed con
ducted business, and the proprietor, in
the present prosperity of his ex
tensive establishment, may feel that
next to his own energy and en
terprise, the success is due to
the consistent course , of offering good
goods at reasonably small profits—a sys
tem which will ever secure appreciation
and endorsement. But the special point
we desire to reach, is to direct the
attention of our readers: to the double
column announcement of new goods at
Mr. Semple's, which appears this morn
ing on our fifth page. The geode arrived
and being received are anfresh and seas
onable, embracing many new patterns
and styles, which will certainly please our
lady readers. Tho prices are marked down
to figures lower than any that have been
offered this season. We bespeak a visit
to the establishment from our friends
who may desire either to purchase at re
tail or wholesale, and assure them that
the half has not been advertised of the
advantages offered. Courteous sales
men and lady clerks are in constant at
tendance to wait on those who may call,
whether to leek at the goods merely,. or
to purchase.
Fifth Avenue.
The action of Councils in changing the
name of Pennsylvania avenue to Fifth
avenue, was well enough so far as It
went, but one very important matter has
been neglected, and as it is the occasion
of a great deal of annoyance and incon
..
veniencs it should be attended to at
once. We refer to the numbering of the
houses on that thoroughfare. The num
bers on old Fifth street, between Smith
field and Grant streets, were never prop
erly arranged, and have been a source of
grievous vexation to hnnnreds of stran
gers. Since the extension of the Street,
or rather the name to another street,
which was originally numbered from the
terminus of the old one, the annoyance
is almost equally as great to citizens as
to strangers,. as we find on the street
corresponding numbers at points half a
mile distant from each other. Whose
duty is it to have the houses properly
numbered?
Still Progressing,
The great closing out sale at T. Tobias',
No. 13 St. Clair street, of fine ready made
clothing, is still progressing and will
continue till the -first of August. Mr.
Tobias is now east making extensive
preparations for fall stock and also a fine
stock of piece goods for his new mer•
chant tailoring department, which will
soon be.oOmpleted. Mr. Tobias is mak
ing very extensive alterations in his
store for fall, and intends selling better
goods this coming season and cheaper
than any ether house. He is now buy
ing all his goods for cash which enables
him to sell cheaper than ever. Go there
and see the immense sac.rillee in prices.
He has sold cheap the , whole season, but
is now going to sell cheaper still. Don't
fail to call and see him. Convince your
self what money you can save by going
immediately to T. Tobias', No. .13 St.
Clair street, and. buying clothing.
A New Restaurant.
Mr. James Nicholson, of whose fitness
for the enterprise several years' as
gives us the highest confi
dence, has fitted op with excellent taste
the room No. :A, Federal street, Alle
gheny, midway between the bridge and
the railroad depot, and is this day open
ing the same to public patronage. The
situation is well chosen for the many
who pass and repass it daily. They can
not fail to be suited. and a trial will con
vince all that Mr. Nicholson is the right
man in the right place.
_ An Honest Individual.
The Sezretary of the Treasury yester
day received the following letter :
DE.t Sin: Enclosed please find four
hundred and seventy dollars. This is
not conscience money, but, doing a lib
